HASP-LOCK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 8, 1916.

Application filed July e, 1915. serial No. 38,368.

To all whom t may concern: y

Be it known that I, PETER JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful I-Iasp-Lock, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates'to a hasp lock for doors, gates, etc., and its object is to produce a vhasp lock which may be used either to lock the door or gate closed so that a key is required to open it, or to merely lock it so that it can be opened conveniently by hand without the key' if desired.

Other objects of the inventionwill appear as the description proceeds.

Anl embodiment of the invention vis shown in the drawing in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be many modifications thereof.

Figure 1 is a sectional view through a door and door post showing the hasp and lock in section as well, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a door and post having this lock applied thereto, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the lock as it appears when the bolt is moved part way in,v but not completely locked, and F 4 is a sectional View on a larger scale of a portion of the hasp adjacent the bolt and illustrating the stop for holding the lock bolt in an intermediate position.

rPhe numeral; 1 indicates the door, 2 the door post and 3 and 4 staples, one for connecting the hasp to the door and the other to the post. The hasp comprises a flat piece of metal 5 having `an opening at 6 for the staple 3, a slot at 7 for the staple 4 and a finger catch at 8 for operating the hasp..

The hasp also has two loops of metal 9 and 10 formed therein which provide the slot for the bolt 11.

The bolt 11 has a notch 12 therein which is engaged by a depressed portion 13 of the loop 10 when the bolt is in an intermediate position such as is indicated at 13 in Fig.

`3, at which time the bolt may be retracted by the lock'casing 15 a notch 16 near the end of the bolt will'engage a tongue 17 on a spring 18, said spring being so placed with the lock casing 15 as to admit of its being disengaged from the bolt 11 by passing the key through the hole 19 and turning the same slightly.

An advantage of the construction illustrated lies in the fact that it provides means for locking the door or gate so that a key is required to open the same, or for locking it in such a manner as to allow it to be opened without the use of the key at will, all kof the parts being very compactlyvassembled upon the hasp plate 5.

extended, means'on one of the bolt guides for coperating with said notch when the belt is 1n said `partially extended position to allow the bolt to be removed from the staple passing through the slot lin the plate without the use of the lock, and a lock easing into which said bolt passes after passing overrthe slot for preventing the withdrawal of the bolt without the use of a key.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto Set myhand this 21st day of June, A.' D. 1915, in the'presence of the two subscribed wit.-

nesses.
